1[st] Leverstock Green Group Annual Report 2020/2021
Group Scout Leader’s Report
Along with all other Scout Groups, the year between April 2020 and April 2021
has been challenging and difficult with Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions
on meetings. Despite this, 1[st] Leverstock Green Scout Group provided
a wide range of activities for our young members. The
Group ran two Beaver Colonies (Woodland and Riverbank), two Cub packs (Hawk
and Kestrel) and a Scout Troop.
Many of our meetings in 2020/21 took place on line, using Zoom to hold virtual
camps, virtual cooking activities (pizza and chocolate cake ‘in a mug’ being
very popular) and a virtual visit from some reptiles. Our face-to-face
meetings were often held in smaller groups or amended to take into account
restrictions imposed by Covid-19. Further details are within the Section
reports.
Our community engagement suffered in the year, with the Village Fair and
fireworks events cancelled. This impacted our fundraising, however the
Group did take advantage of government Covid grants which meant we could
continue to operate.
The Group is managed by an Executive Committee, who oversees the proper
running of the Scout Group. All our leaders and committee members are
volunteers, giving their time to Scouting. None of our leaders or committee
members are paid for what they do.
I end with a few thanks. First, to the leaders, young leaders and executive
committee members. This year has tested everyone’s resilience however the
dedication and resolve of the leader and executive team are beyond equal.
Second, to our young people, who had to manage and adapt to new ways of
Scouting and short-notice changes to activities. Last but not least, to our
parents and guardians, who supported the Group throughout the year.
If anyone is interested in joining the Group as a leader, helper or
fundraiser, please let me know.
Richard Hartley Group Scout Leader
Beaver Colonies Report
Despite lockdown and restrictions imposed by Covid-19, both Woodland and
Riverbank Beaver Colonies have thrived during the year. Summer term was spent
on-line, with ‘Beaver Zoom’ becoming a new favourite phrase. Activities
included making pizza and cakes in mugs and Lego building. Autumn term
started with several face-to-face meetings, with outdoors cooking, team
games, planting bulbs and litter picking in the community, before lockdown
forced us back on-line in November 2020. Spring term was also spent on-line,
with a visit from some reptiles, and activities about Chinese New Year, St

David’s Day and Mother’s Day. We were joined by Skittleman for an evening of
madcap fun and laughter. Many of our Beavers took part in virtual camps and
the DENS sleep-out.
Our Beavers have been terrific during lockdown, adapting to Zoom sessions and
having fun. Our thanks to all the Beavers, their parents and guardians, and
our teams of leaders and young leaders, without whom we could not run these
activities.

Hawk Pack Report
Like the rest of the Group, Covid-19 had a major impact on Hawk Pack in the
2020/21 year. We cancelled our weekly meetings for Summer Term although many
of our Cubs took part in the District virtual camp and a virtual Group camp
in July.
We restarted face to face meetings in September 2020, running mixed sessions
with small groups of Cubs to meet Covid-19 restrictions. These meetings took
place outdoors and involved a bike ride, local hike, wide games
and orienteering. Unfortunately, lockdown in November led to more cancelled
meetings, however we did run a Search for Santa and a Christmas party just
before the December holiday.
With face-to-face meetings cancelled during the Spring Term, we offered
instead weekly badge activities which were emailed to young people and
parents. These proved quite popular with many Cubs earning their artist,
astronomer, book reader and home help badge. Some of our Cubs joined a joint
Kestrel and Hawk Pack Holiday in February, our thanks to the Kestrel team
for organising this.
None of the activities would be possible without the hard work
and commitment of the leader team: Richard, Val, Paul, Simon, Joanna as well
as our young leader team.

Kestrel Pack Report
Programme Highlights & Badges
This was a year like no other. With the country locked down, we almost
immediately decided to take the plunge into online meetings and held our
first one on 31st March 2020. We then met every week until the end of July,
and provided a lot of extra activities for Cubs to do at other times. This
proved extremely popular and was highly appreciated by parents.
We managed to meet face-to-face five times in the autumn term, but the rest
of that term, and the whole of the spring term were done online.
Registered as a Charity under the Charities Acts. Charity No. 302540
Highlights from the weekly Zoom meetings included visits from Rhythmicity
(for a drumming workshop) and Con Burdekin (a children’s author and poet),
baking cookies, making junk robots, escape rooms, Taskmaster-style
challenges and a Parents vs Cubs competition. Plus a huge variety of games
and scavenger hunts.
Despite all the restrictions, Cubs managed to earn the Emergency Aid,
Personal Safety, Digital Maker and World Faiths badges.
Nights Away
With no residential activities allowed, we were limited to camping at home.
Several Cubs joined the District virtual camp in May and we organised one
for the whole of Leverstock Green Scouts in July, during which all the
participants earned The Great Indoors badge.
We also ran a virtual pack holiday in February for both Cub Packs. This was
all about food and the Cubs earned the Chef badge.
Dave Jermy Cub Scout Leader
Troop Report
The Scout troopcontinues to be reasonably well attended with an average of
20 boys and girls this year. We have only undertaken outdoor activities on
Friday evenings due to the restrictions imposed by Covid. The Scout troop
had meetings as usual till 13th March 2020 and then everything was stopped
due to lockdowns, we tried to do some Zoom meetings but they were poorly
attended. This year we only had outdoor meetings due to the restrictions.
The activities we undertake continue to be popular with the troop. Some of
the activities covered earlier this year have been cooking, fire lighting,
axe and saw, camping skills, knots, pioneering, orienteering, first aid
training, challenge bases, intellectual challenges, cycling challenge and
much more to help the Scouts challenge and expand their horizons.
All our activities are only possible due to the hard working leader team-
Richard, Alan, Patrick, Sean, Nigel, Matt, Archie, Myles, Ollie, Lewis and
Tom. Thanks to the Scouts for their commitment and enthusiasm during the
year, as well as to their parents who encourage and support them.
